Moderators, I'd be interested in participating, but am not swayed sufficiently by the permission is granted section at the bottom, anyone could write that. Can a moderator verify the above post and edit it to show that it is officially approved. Thanks much."You are what you do, not what you say you'll do"Carl Jung
